Originally bounced off this game because it was too confusing. After watching this I gave it another shot. 2 years and almost 2000 hours later all I can say is thank you so so much for giving me the tools to fall in love with this masterpiece!

[@salendrak]

Wow - thank you so much!!

[@everquestfan]

One of my favorite Pawns was a 93 year old female pod crash refugee doctor (16) with Dementia hearing loss various scars that slowed movement and heart issues. She later became frail between her Dementia wandering and cleaning duties she loved to take care of animals and heal everyone. I got a mech serum cured her Dementia and Bionics ended up making her godlike and cured all her negative health problems.

[@salendrak]

Yeah, if you can keep them alive until you can bling them out, they can become pretty awesome. And the story along the way can be quite entertaining!

[@LutraLovegood]

I wanted to do the same with one of mine! But she got kidnapped during a raid because raiders spawned too close to where she was (I didn't notice she fell asleep really far away from the base while hauling something), I tried to chase the raiders but our leader died as a result.

[@yellomagi]

Yo I realize this is a year later, but thank you for this. Been loving this game a TON but this guide is uniquely thorough. Too many creators were focused on concisision, which is totally out of pocket for a game like RimWorld. You rock

Thank you for a good Comprehensive guide. All these others seem out of date to me. I have been trying to get into this game for years but always quit because info is outdated.

[@salendrak]

Glad I could help! And yeah - I think that's a pretty common problem, especially for games that were in early access / beta for a long time. People might have made beginner's guides back when it was new, but once it goes into release and gets further updates, those older guides quickly become obsolete!

[@sowatee4969]

Thank you for this. I've had it for a while because it sounded like my kind of game. Struggling a lot harder than I did with Crusader Kings.

[@salendrak]

Hmmmm - I've never played any of the Crusader Kings games. Add them to my list! But yeah, Rimworld can definitely be tough, but once you get past the initial learning curve and get comfortable with any given world going to hell in a handbasket, it really is a lot of fun!

You're very welcome! This is one of those games that is tricky enough starting out, I would hate for people to get turned off by the initial learning curve. Hence the reason I make guides to ease new players into successfully enjoying the game!

[@mattkeeler7385]

never heard of this game until yesterday, I literally couldn't stop playing lol. 30 hours nonstop. I had a pretty good sleep after

[@salendrak]

Definitely one of those games that sucks you in and makes you stay up WAY too late at night!

[@wrathofainz]

2 things I remember from my first playthrough so far: - A single guinney pig can eliminate several pawns - clicking through 19 notifications about roof collapse after a large fire. Can't just ctrl+click on something to get rid of it, no, I have to open and close each instance of the notification. This is when I knew I needed mods.

How do you get the buttons smaller at the bottom of your screen? If I click 'orders' for example, my buttons are stacked two-high and take up nearly a third of my viewing screen. Yours seem to be compact and all in a single row. Thanks!

[@salendrak]

Go to Options -> Interface -> UI Scale and adjust the scale to make things bigger or smaller. I've got mine set to 1x, but I'm not sure what the default is. Are you sure you don't have any mods that make further adjustments? It might also be due to your game resolution settings up in Graphics. Hope that helps!

[@grumolch4268]

@@salendrak It's probably more about the resolution of my screen, but I was able to find a solution that helps. There's a line in C:\Users\Owner\AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios\Config where you can change the UIScale. Easy to access. I just set it to .85.

Labor of love! How early are you able to start planting up there? We got some peas in the garden last week, and actually just moved our fence so we can put in a bunch more garden boxes. Going to start growing ALL THE THINGS! Sadly we sometimes get frost through early May, so stuff like tomatoes usually don't go into the ground until around Mother's day.

@@salendrak Ah! End of May, early June for tomatoes. I'm on the border of Zones 5 and 6. Greens, beets and other earlies are going in now.

We've got lots of tomato seedlings and a few other plants growing inside for now, but peas are in the gardens, and other cold-hardy crops will go in the garden soon too.

[@noahriding5780]

When they don't have experience in a skill or don't have levels in a skill and try to do the skill... does it 100% fail? or does it just give much reduce chance to succeed? And how does that affect how fast they learn the skill?

[@salendrak]

Not a guaranteed fail, just more likely, which wastes time and resources. I'm not sure though how it impacts experience gain...

Hey! Fantastic series! I’m new to RW but it has me completely hooked now. I subscribed to the mods you listed but when I load the game I get a debug screen now with a bunch of messages. Any idea if something has changed? Thanks again!

[@salendrak]

It might be that the mods are in the wrong order. Libraries like Harmony (and of course the Core mod - which is the game itself basically) have to be loaded first. Try hitting the "Auto-sort mods" button below the mods list and see if that helps. If it doesn't, I think there is also a mod that will figure out the right order for your mods, but I can't remember what it's called off the top of my head.

Rimworld is so frustrating that it’s addictive, so frustratingly annoying and difficult to get a good start that I makes it really difficult to enjoy, because once I’m feeling good something comes to ruin everything and leave me without any hope of surviving, i do everything I can to start myself off good, and everything to give myself an advantage and I’m still left starting in winter or permanent summer when I’m not prepared for it

[@noahriding5780]

Is there a mod to smoothen out how bad food consumption ruins you in the first year of a colony?

[@salendrak]

I'm sure there probably are, though I've never found it to be a problem depending on the biome of the map. Particularly in a temperate forest (even if it has a decently big winter) there's usually plenty of foraging the first few weeks, and thereafter usually plenty of animals to hunt. It's all part of the learning curve I suppose!

[@GrimGearheart]

I know you haven't made a RimWorld video since these ones, but would you consider an "all DLC guide", and what "steps" you need to do for each DLC in a new colony? Between Royalty, Ideology, and Biotech, the game feels overwhelming for a new player.

[@salendrak]

I honestly haven't played the DLCs much at all. Just a little bit of royalty, but so far I haven't even touched Ideology or Biotech. Maybe one of these days once I get them solidly under my belt!

Wait, by default there is only one of each type of tribe, but are you saying the ability to change the numbers of each type is mod-based? I didn't think I had any mods that changed that function, but it's been a while since I made this video...

@@salendrak they stabbed and took my colllonist

[@TyTimeIsAwesome]

Just started the game completely blind. First play through a deer killed one of characters so here I am trying to learn how not to let them die.

[@salendrak]

Gotta watch out for those deer - they seem all cute, but they can be deadly!!

[@TyTimeIsAwesome]

@@salendrak It's pretty overwhelming. Your videos have been helpful. There's just so much to learn, just from the technical aspect. For example, the game doesn't teach you how to heal.

[@frankmarckusky5630]

thx 4 this

[@salendrak]

Triple comment combo - thanks!!

[@exaq]

thank you a lot i thought age wouldn't be that bad until i picked a 70 year old with cancer and a bad back that managed to develop alzheimers and go blind in the span of one year

[@salendrak]

Sometimes those old pawns turn out ok. And sometimes they become total deadweight!

[@Waltuh_put_your_d_away]

Looks like a fun game

[@salendrak]

Totally!!

[@iliyanvasilev1724]

This game locks interesting i may try it 1day

[@salendrak]

You should! Graphically it looks pretty bland, and honestly I had zero interest when a friend first showed it to me. But once I actually played it I was instantly hooked!

[@GamingGirlAnime]

I should've watched this over a year ago. I wouldv'e had such an easier experience this whole time! T-T

[@salendrak]

That would have been a neat trick - I only made the video a few months ago! 🤣

[@sargentthiccboi9333]

Yeah I had a good save going for my first play through until I made the mistake of attacking a megasloth

[@salendrak]

I remember my friend telling me about how he attacked boomalopes once, not having any idea what would happen. Good times! 😆

[@ChineseWinnie]

MODS I USE IN THE VIDEO - see pinned comment. I ran out of room for here in the description. they always forget to put the pinned comment

[@salendrak]

Oooops! Actually, I did make the pinned comment right after posting the video, but apparently when I updated it a while back that unpinned it. It's pinned again now, so hopefully you can find it! Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

[@Sarahbryson321]

Could you please ad subtitles?

[@salendrak]

There should be the automatically generated subtitles that KZbin adds on their end. Just hit the CC button near the other controls!

[@dmplayz5039]

Am I a nerd for playing this game? ...... Hmm

[@salendrak]

Of course not!

[@IvoIvo555]

man i litery dont know how walk in rimworld

[@salendrak]

Have you figured it out yet?! Sorry for delayed response - was out of town for spring break.

[@IvoIvo555]

@@salendrak yes it was a bug

[@nathanvandermeer]

I like turtles. I have a turtle farm.

[@salendrak]

Neat!

[@paidactor2884]

wowww thanks for inspiring me to play the fucking basic console edition. @2:50

[@salendrak]

Yeah, sorry about that. When I made this guide I wasn't aware that there was a console edition in the works. But then, I don't play console games anyways soooo....

[@paidactor2884]

@@salendrak 🤷‍♂️ this game is kinda confusing but i’ll finish watching this video another time.

[@dxb8086]

This is absolutely ridiculous. Almost two hours of watching tutorials just to barely get started. I bought the game, but for someone who works 40 hours it is impossible to get into. By the time I've watched the first twenty minutes, I forgot what was said in the beginning, because it's too much information AND there's still 90 minutes to go. No thanks. It's a shame, I would love to get into this game. Don't get me wrong, I'm not that stupid... I'm not saying that this is someone's fault - it isn't. It's just the way it is. On the normal difficulty settings the game is fairly hard for a casual gamer.

[@salendrak]

It's definitely a complex game - that's for sure! I would recommend just playing as you are able, enjoy the ride, and don't feel bad when your colony crashes and burns. Sometimes the story that plays out in those scenarios can be highly entertaining!

[@scottp9247]

Bruh I work 55 hours and I'm picking this game up, just relax and play when you can. Its really not hard once you start slowly figuring things out

[@swallowedinthesea11]

Is you mad, OP? Have fun missing out!

[@Beencheeling]

As a normal person i always pick up ryan noob

[@salendrak]

I forget - was "ryan noob" one of the character options that showed up for me?
